Fast Forward
We’ve decided to fast-forward the website back to present (or nearly present) day. So rather than telling tales from several weeks ago, we’re going to start telling tales about what’s happening now. (And by “now” I totally mean “now, plus or minus a week or so.”)

Frequently Asked QuestionsHannah: I love your site! I adore travelling, and while I'd love to do a long trip like your rtw 18 month one, it's not…

We believe even when a trip is over, the storytelling has just begun. As story tellers, we enjoy not only sharing the tales from trips taken just weeks ago but the ones completed years ago too. And as travel addicts, our goal is to visit several new countries (and return to a few favorites!) every year.

Below you'll find our stories, impressions, and tips for the countries we visited during our 18 month round-the-world trip and during all our travels since returning home. (For readers who'd like to read about our round-the-world trip sequentially, don't forget to check out the Our Adventure Round-the-World section.)

I LOVE that cute little construction worker hedgehog! Where ever did you find him/her?

Heh. That's Herbert the hedgehog, who runs things behind-the-scenes at the website.

He scuttles back and forth, fetching entries for people and posting their comments for them, but he's very shy. Once he's finished this page, he'll probably go back into hiding. He'll always be here though, no worries. Keep your eyes peeled, and you might even spot him somewhere else from time to time.

Holy Cow! This new website is pretty awesome you guys! Have fun back in Mexico City

This is a great web-site! I just found out about it from my friend who recommended it for me. I can't wait to start traveling more myself. What a inspiring love story you two are! I wish you lots of love and continued joy and safe traveling!

well you have visited South Africa but am sure the experience from South Africa will differ from what you might experience in East Africa, West Africa, North Africa and Central Africa. I suggest that you conseider visiting atleast one country in each of these regions. Enjoy your self
